Description

Career move -- Denton's death -- State of England -- Let me count the times -- The coincidence of the arts -- Heavy water -- The janitor on Mars -- Straight fiction -- What happened to me on my holiday

Nine dazzling stories make up this volume of unique and alluring fiction. In "Career Move, " poets are flown first-class to Hollywood in order to take meetings with sandal-shod produces. Witness the world of "Straight Fiction" in which everyone is gay except the beleaguered straight community. Heavy Water and Other Stories is the most engaging overview of Martin Amis's considerable short story talent ever
